Rashaad Penny, my choice for RB this year

[broncos SB2010]

I prefer Ronald Jones but I do like Penny, if we could get him in round 3 I would be all for it. QB in round 1, WR in round 2 and Penny in round 3. Our offense would be set for years to come.

oh my....not a single Olineman taken in your scenario....and the O is set for years????

[Kyousukeneko]

i'd still consider Ronald Jones II a better move cause like CJ and penny are very simular players while jones would give an explosion we don't have atm

I remember seeing this statistical comparison not long ago, and was thinking about it before I even opened the thread. It's an interesting one to say the least.

I noticed it watching him live against Rutgers. 14 carries for 35 yards against the WORST Big Ten team last year and 16 carries for 92 yards in 2016. I use that as my bar for Big Ten RB's, mainly because I have Rutgers season tickets. I remember watching Zeke and sitting on the the edge of my seat every time he got the ball. He was the best RB I've seen in quite some time. I never got that feeling with Barkley. He was dynamic, yes, but I didn't get that impression that I was watching history before my eyes.

Rashaad Penny might still be available at #71.

Thats a good spot to take a RB in my opinion. It does depend on whether or not Elway wants to use his 3rd on Cravens or not though. Add on top of that if we pick a QB with our 5th overall then we still need to use the 2nd and 3rd round picks on linemen.

I like Penny as well. I don't think he is 1st rounder in this draft. NFL Draft profile has him as 2-3 round, there is quite a few RBs that are projected to go ahead of him ... I hope they're right and we can take him with our early 3rd; WalterFootball has him mocked to us in the 3rd.
I see some others do have him going in the 2nd or on day 2. He did run a 4.46 40, at 220lb thats not bad.
If we were to trade down and get another 2nd I would likely take him in the 2nd, but I hope he is still there for our 3rd and we take him.

agreed. I think 2nd or 3rd.

That is so foolish. Don’t draft one kid because the last one from his school failed? Ha

I would draft the RB from Georgia before another one from San Diego I am just saying ! LoL.

Hey at lease I made you laugh lol.

[Capt. Jack]

I like Nick Chubb RB, Georgia.

[NVthosebroncos]

No More RBs from San Diego State the last one Denver Drafter failed so I will say I hope Denver Passes. Plus Denver is still big on D.Booker and Henderson. Plus they still have CJ on the Roster.

Penny looks slow on tape. Idk what he actually runs but it looks slow

[broncos SB2010]

What speed did Hillman show? Personally I like Guice, but I'm biased big-time

That's what he was known for in college....speed and quickness. Didn't show up in the NFL

[HUMCALC]

I thought about that as wellthey are completely different types of RBs, imo. Penny is a solid between the tackles power runner whereas Hillman was more of a speed threat.
